Protests have escalated across multiple Tanzanian cities following disputed presidential elections, with the U.N. saying it has “credible reports” that at least 10 people have died. Other sources suggest higher casualty figures, with the country's main opposition on Friday claiming around 700 have been killed, though this figure was disputed by Foreign Minister Mahmoud Thabit Kombo, who also denied allegations that excessive force has been used. Authorities imposed a curfew and deployed military forces in response to the protests.
